Diploma Validation Policy
*In accordance with the new regulations developed by the US Department of Education for the 2011-2012 award year, Trinity reserves the right to request additional documentation in order to validate a student’s high school completion.
This validation may include the following:
- Request for final high school transcripts
- Evaluation conducted by a third party
This newly established rule requires institutions to review any high school diploma if the institution or Department of Education has reason to believe the diploma is not valid.
Trinity International University endeavors to conduct the admissions process with consideration to best practices. Please contact TIU directly if you have any questions.
